The Paul McCartney song "(I Want To) Come Home," which we reported previously will get its world premiere in the upcoming film, "Everybody's Fine," is a ballad with lyrics that complement the movie's plotline.

The film is about a father whose offspring cancel their plans to visit him over the holidays, so he decides to pay them a visit and reconnect with them.

The song is a ballad that features Paul McCartney with a small backup group that includes a piano, a cello or violin, guitar and horns. It isn't overly orchestrated and Paul sings it with barely any overdubbing. It features introspective lyrics about facing life's challenges.

The chorus concludes, "It's been too long, now I want to come home."

"Everybody's Fine," which stars Robert DeNiro, Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale, opens Dec. 4.
